Former Crystal Palace midfielder John Bostock is reportedly closing in on a move to join French side Toulouse.

The 26-year-old, who started his career at Palace before a controversial move to Tottenham in 2008, is understood to be close to agreeing a return to France, having previously spent time with RC Lens between 2016 and 2018.

He is currently with Turkish side Bursaspor, but reports in France suggest that a deal worth around €800,000 has been reached and that he will complete the move in the near future.

Bostock only played four times for Spurs and had several loan spells away at the likes of Brentford, Hull City, Sheffield Wednesday, Swindon Town and Toronto FC, before he moved to Belgium to play for Royal Antwerp.

He also played for OH Leuven before joining Ligue 2 side Lens in 2016, and he was named Ligue 2 player of the year after his first season in France.
